Oh dang. This is an excellent analogy.

It’s Friday night.

I’ve done enough this week.

You’ve done enough this week.

My husband hasn't heard of 'stuckee', as in, the person who gets stuck with the unwanted task. Is it Australian? Too old-fashioned? Too new-fashioned?!?

"Knowing that you are a visual organiser and need to see your stuff is life changing."

I think I just unlocked four decades of trauma between my mother, who can't stand to see anything not put away, and myself, who needs stuff to be out where I can see it.

THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH.

129 days until spring training starts!

Oooh let me check!

And I’m especially annoyed because I steered her away from Amazon and Temu to Etsy! It’s scams and rip-offs all the way down.

Thanks, and ugh. 😭🫠☠️

😭😭😭

When did Etsy get so crappy? I thought Etsy was the Good Place for niche items.

Screenshot of Etsy listing for a blue jumpsuit, listed as $15.06.

Screenshot of the price once you've clicked through the item, showing that a PNG File is $15.06, but the actual jumpsuit is $57.96-$63.40.

This new thing on Etsy where people list a costume with a low price and then when you click, the price is for a "PNG File" of the costume and the costume itself is 4-20x as expensive?! Is really upsetting my 10yo daughter who just wants to Halloween shop on her allowance, and seems kinda scummy.

Yeah I assume just a muscle memory/brain fart, but it was pretty funny when I got a text from a strange women who wanted to set up a zoom to talk about a student. 😂

Here's an episode of #ExploreExoplanets which discusses just that!

Should I do a listicle to celebrate 30 years of exoplanets? 👀

I have so many questions about how the concept of virginity relates to an AI avatar and I don't want the answers to any of them.

These alien planets are astronomers’ favourites: here’s why Space scientists look back on 30 years of exoplanet discoveries — from rows of massive ‘super-Earths‘ to worlds with perfectly synchronized orbits.

This week (!) is the 30th anniversary of the announcement of 51 Pegasi b, the first exoplanet found orbiting a star like our Sun - since then, we've found over 6,000!

To celebrate, @alexwitze.bsky.social and @nature.com collected some astronomers' favourite planets:

At least I don’t have to worry about my husband having an affair, since it turns out he can’t even give another woman* his phone number**.

The best part about the 'Dumb Ways to Die' public safety announcement isn't that it went viral and got hundreds of millions of views, or that it turned into a whole media franchise.

It's that it actually reduced the number of near misses on railroad tracks by 30%. 👀👏

Come on Chapman.

In broad strokes it's similar to TPF-C, a big telescope with a coronagraph trying to reach the contrast needed to directly image Earth-like planets.

This is the current priority list of targets:
